SUMMARY
DATE: August 21, 2018
TO: Ronald L. Olson, City Manager
FROM: Matthew Van Valkenburgh A.A.E., Executive Director of Aviation
SUBJECT: DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH BIG MAN WASHES
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
On August 9, 2011, the City Council approved agreements with the Rental Car Concessions at Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport which included the collection of a Customer Facility Charge (CFC) to fund improvements to the rental car areas. The CFCs have been accrued in a restricted fund for the purpose and benefit of funding improvements to the car rental facilities.
Staff consulted with the rental car companies at Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport (KFHRA) to generate a project priority list for rental car facility improvements. That list identified the initial priority improvements should be for the rental car ready area, more specifically to upgrade the vacuum systems, upgrade the existing manual car wash bays, and add an automated car wash to the existing site.
In February 2017, council approved Staff to release a request for qualifications for the design / build of improvements to the rental car ready area. On June 21, 2017, RFQ 17-07 closed and the sealed statements were opened. The proposals were reviewed by a technical evaluation committee which selected Big Man Washes as the primary vendor for the project. Subsequently, Staff directed Big Man Washes to provide a design concept and proposal for the project. During this design period, Staff visited other rental car service areas to ensure appropriate improvements were identified and satisfied the rental car company’s requirements. Following approval of the design, Staff negotiated a contract with Big Man Washes for the construction phase of the project.
